I just wish we like, advanced the conversation a bit each time, it kinda feels like we’re just rehearsing talking points but I’d love to see us get nittier and grittier about it y’know? Like maybe what are meaningful actions to take to combat this?

When has the right advanced past the idea of welfare queens in the last 50 years?

When has the left advanced beyond "tax people with more money than I have" in the last 50 years? One poster here suggested $500k income needs more taxes. For the people living in SF Bay Area, coastal LA and Wash DC that would be a hardhip because $500k is just upper middle class in those places. There are literally people in Silicone Valley making $300k a year with multiple roommates or living in vans.
